Hi there, I hope someone can offer some instructions for me. I am trying to install OpenERP on our server, which is a VPS running CentOS (5). I see the detailed instructions are for Ubuntu or Debian and should only take 5 minutes but other Linux types take over 30 minutes.

So I have been trying to go through the step by step directions. So far I have enabled Postgres, installed missing dependencies and uploaded the Linux install files to the public_html directory.

The instructions seem to tell me the next step to install is:

tar -xzf openerp-6.1-latest.tar.gz

cd openerp-6.1-*

sudo python setup.py install

openerp-server

I am asking for help because my only experience installing applications on the web server is .php applications where all I had to do was create a database, upload the application files, then point my web browser to the "install.php" file and the rest was pretty easy. This is foreign to me.

First change to the postgres user so we have the necessary privileges to configure the database.

sudo su - postgres

Now create a new database user. This is so OpenERP has access rights to connect to PostgreSQL and to create and drop databases. Remember what your choice of password is here; you will need it later on:

Thanks, I didn't see YOUR comment either!. So I have to change the epel repo? So change this line: rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm to this: rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-5-8.noarch.rpm ? What am I missing?
